Lucky 13 alleges intellectual property violations.

Taylor Swift says 13 is her lucky number but a new lawsuit could change all that. Lucky 13, a street wear brand based in Orange County, which launched in 1991, is suing the pop star for unauthorised use of the Lucky 13 registered trade mark.

We’re not sure what specific use they’re referring to but the superstitious Swift does flaunt a lot of ‘13’. She paints the number onto her hand before every show because “whenever a 13 comes up in my life, it’s a good thing”, she once told MTV. “I was born on the 13th. I turned 13 on Friday the 13th. My first album went gold in 13 weeks. My first number one song had a 13 second intro.”

All that’s left is for her to find true love with her 13th boyfriend. How many exes are we up to now? We forget.

Whether or not this all actually amounts to trade mark infringement will be settled by the courts but in the meantime, Lucky 13 is probably getting a lot of hits on Google. Which kind of makes us think there could be an ulterior motive to filing the case. Or that Taylor Swift isn’t really so lucky.
